Objective To understand the contents of Ca,Fe,Zn and Cu in hair of primary and secondary students in Jingyu county and Dongliao of
Jilin Province and to provide basis for guiding reasonable diet and preventing the occurrence of mineral deficiency.
Methods Stratified cluster sampling method was used to extract 675 primary and secondary school students and the
Ca,Fe,Zn and Cu contents in the hair were detected by ICP-MS method;the contents and deficiency rates of the four kinds of minerals in the hair of 6
75 primary and secondary school students with different genders and different ages were compared;and the relationships between Ca,Fe,Zn,Cu,and the correlations of the four kinds of minerals with the morphological indexes were analyzed.Epidata 3.0 was used to establish the database,and SPSS 13.0 statistical software was used for statistical analysis.Results The Ca deficiency rate of 675 primary and secondary students was the highest (32.9%,222
/675),followed by Fe (22.4%,151/675),Zn (16.6%,112/675) and Cu (0.6%,4/675).The distribution of Ca,Fe and Zn contents in the hair of the students with different genders had significant differences (P<0.05),and the girls’, were higher than the boys’,but the distribution of Cu contents had no significant difference (P>0.05);the distribution of Ca,Fe,Zn contents between different ages groups had significant differences (P<0.05),and the deficiency rates of Ca and Zn in 8 to 10 age group were the highest;but the distribution of content Cu had no statistically significant difference (P> 0.05).The age had positive correlation with Ca,Fe,Zn and Cu contents(rs = 0.129,rs = 0.075,rs =0.204,rs = 0.087,all P<0.05);and the Fe content had positive correlations with Zn and Cu contents(rs = 0.576,rs = 0.149,all P<0.05);and the Ca and Zn contents had positive correlations with the height,weight,chest circumference and sitting height of the students(P<0.05).Conclusion The deficiency rates of Ca and Fe in 675 primary and secondary students are higher;the contents of Ca,Fe
,Zn,and Cu are important factors that affect the growth and development of children,so reasonable diet and appropriate supplement of Ca and Fe sh
ould be performed.
